This is our second stay in this beautiful Yurt. The decoration and furnishings are outstanding, everything is pristine with quality bed linen and towels. The yurt is totally private for a romantic escape. Everything is provided to cook a meal in the kitchen or cook on the BBQ, super outdoor furniture and a small fire pit to light in the evening. The shower is superb with plenty of hot water. There a a few local pubs within a short drive if you wish to venture out. Many thanks again Charlie for a wonderful stay and hope to book again!

Great location and very quiet at night (dark skies so photographed the Northern Lights) Close to A12, so easy to travel out to places quickly. Immaculately presented and clean. Beds comfortable. Great welcome basket with delicious biscuits, cereal and granola. Had all the essentials in the property such as foil, cling film, kitchen towel, dishwasher tablets, shower gel and hand wash. The flowers in the bedroom and lounge were a very nice touch. So overall we were very happy with the property and had a very comfortable stay.

What a lovely cottage! It was comfortable and clean. The hosts were very helpful and accessible which made everything go smoothly. The location was central but quiet and having horses near was an added bonus. The local pub, The Queens Head, was delightful and the publican Steve made us feel like locals.

We were very comfortable in your cottage, and found everything we needed for our stay. We explored the surrounding countryside and little villages loved some of the delightful houses in the area, the weather was even better than we expected as it was late in the season thank you very much.

Beautiful location and well equipped spacious property. Loads of country walks directly from The Stables but the property is well located so Sudbury is within easy reach if you want to pick up some provisions. Easy access to may beautiful locations in Suffolk. Very dog friendly too.

Great position in outskirts of friendly village of Nayland. Lovely walks and pubs (one walking distance - all documented in beautifully informative and extensive folder). The Mill St Deli was awesome - sourdough a must, sausage rolls are divine and basic groceries incl toothbrushes are reasonably priced. Everything in the house and garden worked brilliantly. I especially liked the automatic lights in bathroom and plug in auto nightlight in hall. Garden perfect for when my dog needed to have a nighttime tiddle. The log burner was the highlight for me. Hearing owls, flocks of geese fl...more

We stayed at The Old Mill in November. As we live in a wood, the remote location suited us, well away from stress and noise. Everything from the warm cosy comfort of the property to the Heron's daily visit, the sheep in the field, swans on the pond, multiple pheasants, Kingfishers, Muntjac Deer and even a curious Peacock, all added to our delightful time. On holiday I love to cook and the kitchen held everything we needed, except a knife sharpener, which we bought and, quite happily left for future visitors ! Holidaying late in the year can be off-putting, weather-wise, but the Mill was wonder...more

This was the second time we have stayed at the Hayloft and really enjoyed it. The hayloft had everything you needed. It’s placed down some country lanes In a quiet area so very relaxing. Also the owners Charlie and Alice check on us to make sure we were happy and had no issues.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dukes Lodge. Cottage is well appointed, well equipped and very comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend the Kersey Bell in the village of Kersey for lunch or dinner. Owners and Idyllic Cottages were professional and easily reachable. Would highly recommend the cottage and the organization. KW

Brexit turned us away from Britain, but a tentative attempt at reconnecting with our former favourite country was a great success, not least because of the lovely accommodation Swan's Nest in Swan Street in Boxford: Very comfortable, full of atmosphere and a great 'base camp' for excursions to lovely spots in Suffolk. We'll be back - will you?

We very much enjoyed staying at the Tea Caddy cottage. We arrived quite late and were able to make a cup of tea. Also bread and scones with butter and jam had been provided. All the rooms were well furnished and comfortable especially the bed. The key was accessed via a locked box with a code which was easy to use. A spare key was provided so that you didn't lock yourself out which is a very good idea. Lots of thought went into providing torches, maps and outside lighting for various reasons. We weren't sure about the security of the fences so kept our dog on a lead. It would be nice to be abl...more

A charming and well furnished cottage. Perfect for a peaceful and relaxing get away. Although the cottage is a little tired in some areas it does not detract from the the tasteful and comfortable sofas, bed and dining area. The kitchen is well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Hollow trees farm shop, near Hadleigh, is a must for foodies. The owners were were friendly but not intrusive.

• The owners left us a welcome package of apple juice, bread, biscuits and eggs. All very welcome, especially the apple juice which, although looking challenging, was total nectar! • Yew Tree Barn is very well located for the “Constable Country” of Stoke-by-Nayland / Flatford / Dedham / East Bergholt etc. • Yew Tree Barn (YTB) is spacious, beautifully appointed and well equipped. Many places we stay are pretty but clearly have not considered that, having unpacked, you need to leave the suitcases / boxes and bags somewhere. This does not apply to YTB. We used the second bedroom but there w...more

The Tryst is a gem. This beautifully restored cottage has been thoughtfully and sensitively decorated. It is well stocked with everything you could possibly need and its garden is a beautiful and tranquil place to relax and unwind. The AGA cooker was a particularly wonderful surprise that added to the authenticity and pleasure we had during our stay. Highly recommended.
